“Huh?” Zhao Yao was confused. “Duel?”
Uncle Ho said, “Quick, go online and check. There is news spreading all around saying that you’re going to duel with Black Phoenix. What exactly is going on?”
Zhao Yao ended the call and immediately went online to look up the news regarding him and Black Phoenix. A whole bunch of headlines appeared on the screen.
“Breaking! The two greatest apostles are dueling each other? It’s actually because of her?”
“Black Phoenix challenges Zhao Yao to a duel. A truth which scientists don’t dare to reveal, a truth even Jack Ma is shocked by.”
“The most beautiful apostle rises to popularity. Netizens claim: Super Daniel Wu.”
“Super Daniel Wu?” A thin crack immediately appeared on the floor beneath Zhao Yao. He continued reading on in disdain.
“The reason for the battle is actually because of Zhao Yao’s fear that Black Phoenix will become stronger?”
“The world’s no. 1 spot is finally being contested!”
“Black Phoenix and Zhao Yao! Who will be the strongest apostle?”
Zhao Yao continued reading on. The news about his duel with Black Phoenix were all over the Internet. However, he and Black Phoenix clearly were not the ones who started the rumors. Furthermore, much of the news sites and social media that reported on the duel were not in favor of him.
“What the. Fine if you don’t say I’m handsome, now you’re actually doubting my superpowers?”
Zhao Yao contacted Doll and said, “Help me check something. Where exactly did the news of me and Black Phoenix having a duel come from?
Almost instantly, Doll replied Zhao Yao with the information he wanted.
Zhao Yao opened the message Doll sent and found out that it was from a Weibo account with the user ID ‘Superpower Observer King’. This was where the news of Zhao Yao and Black Phoenix dueling originated.
“Breaking news. According to the latest news, Boss Zhao can no longer hold on to his seat.
BP (Black Phoenix) is rising like a beast. Now, even the few strong apostles left are not willing to clash with him. Even Boss Zhao fears that BP will continue to grow stronger, hence he decided to strike first.”
“After hearing the voice recordings from various sources and what my friends had described, the most crucial point now is that both parties are unwilling to back down. One thinks he is the world’s first, everyone must give face to him, while the other feels that he is capable enough to challenge that seat.”
Many elders have advised him against it, but he will not budge on his decision. Everyone, let’s just sit back and wait for the grand duel.”
Zhao Yao glanced through some of the posts on the user’s Weibo account. He realized that this account was just a marketing account that used these so-called breaking news to attract viewership and attention.
Zhao Yao thought to himself, “Everyone’s attention to superpowers had been increasing ever since that time when I live streamed and fully exposed the existence of superpowers to people.”
With a certain degree of viewership, there would certainly be benefits to be reaped from it. It was like people’s attention to the entertainment industry. As the public became more and more interested in the superpower realm, all kinds of news, scoops and superpower celebrities all began to operate their own businesses.
Hence, when rumors of Zhao Yao, the strongest apostle, and Black Phoenix, the hottest apostle on the Internet broke out, the news naturally spread like wildfire.
Just as Zhao Yao was looking at that, Doll sent another message. “Just a bunch of guys who just rely on creating rumors to hype up their viewership and earn money. Do you want me to delete their accounts?”
Zhao Yao frowned. “Let’s not close their accounts first. Continue to check on their real identities. I want to see who it is that had the guts to tarnish my name like that.”
“Send their address to me.”
…
In a condominium in Huadu.
A middle-aged man exclaimed when he saw the figures on the computer screen, “We have exceeded one million shares! Hahahaha, we are going to be really famous now!”
A bespectacled young man asked worriedly, “Do you think it’s a good idea for us to do this? Zhao Yao and Black Phoenix won’t come and take revenge on us right?”
“What are you scared of?” The middle-aged man scoffed. “At most they will just send a lawyer’s letter over to sue us? Do you think he would actually come and beat us up? That would be better actually, it would be even greater news.”
The middle-aged man explained, “Given their capabilities and standing, their every move would need to consider many other things. Why would they come and pick on us specifically? Furthermore, anyone with a bit of brains in them should know that we are just spreading rumors. Those who shared and believed the news are either just spreading the rumors for fun or just fools. It’s nothing too serious.”
The bespectacled young man was still worried. “I heard that Zhao Yao is a petty man who is very vengeful. What if he comes and attack us with his superpower?”
“Congratulations, you are right.”
The two of them turned around and saw Zhao Yao walking in through the window, wearing a black cloak.
Zhao Yao stared at the two of them and asked, “Did anyone instruct you to post that scoop?”
“Zhao… Zhao Yao?!” The middle-aged man was stunned for a while, but he immediately shouted, “Don’t act rashly! I have 24-hour surveillance here. If do something to us I will expose you online immediately and you will become the top search in no time!”
Zhao Yao chuckled. With a light wave of his hand, the dimension portal beside him had already crashed towards them, taking both men into the Extradimensional Belly.
When both men entered the Extradimensional Belly, the first thing they saw were pairs of green and yellow eyes staring at them.
Seeing more than a hundred cats gathered around them, the two men began to panic.
The middle-aged man screamed, “Zhao Yao! This is kidnapping! This is illegal detention! I am going to sue you for this!”
“Kidnap?” Zhao Yao laughed as he walked in through the dimension portal. He stared at the two of them and said, “Since both of you were willing it doesn’t count as kidnap…” He clapped his hands and said to the cats around them, “Let him eat shit.”
The middle-aged man’s heart pounded and the next moment, he felt himself being restrained by Ares’ Deflective Field. He watched as the cats walked up to him one by one as he screamed, “You can’t… hurhur… hurhur….”
Zhao Yao watched as the middle-aged man devoured the shit. He glanced at the bespectacled youth at the side and asked, “Who made you guys frame me online?”
“No… no one.” The bespectacled youth said nervously, “It was King Bro who wanted to be famous on Weibo so he posted that. We just made up the news ourselves.”
“What?” Zhao Yao stared at the two of them in disbelief. He asked Sheriff beside him, “Is he speaking the truth?”
Sheriff replied, “He’s saying what he feels in his heart.”
Zhao Yao stared at the middle-aged man and waved at the cats to stop. He asked, “You made this up?”
The middle-aged man spat out the shit in his mouth before he shouted, “Zhao Yao!! I will fight it out with you!!”
“Fight it out?” Zhao Yao chuckled. The Dragon Slaying Saber that was hanging on his neck vibrated slightly. Zhao Yao stroked the dagger and said, “Did you see that? My Dragon Slaying Saber is craving some fresh blood again.”
After a short while, the two men fell on their knees in fear. Zhao Yao sat on the sofa in front of them. He filed his nails with the Dragon Slaying Saber as he asked, “You guys know what to post on Weibo from now on, right?”
The middle-aged man nodded and said, “I know, I know. We will definitely sing praises of you…”
“Huh?”
When he felt as though the air around him turned still in that instant, the middle-aged man immediately said, “I mean we will definitely report the truth and post about your coolness and power objectively and fairly.”
